9706.90.00.60 - Other

HTS code 9706.90.00.60, designated as "Other," serves as a residual category for antiques that are over 100 years old and do not fit into the more specific classifications within heading 9706. This classification captures a broad spectrum of historical artifacts and artworks that meet the age requirement but are not explicitly categorized as silverware or furniture. The key defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is that the item is an antique exceeding a century in age and lacks a more precise HTS designation within this heading.

Unlike sibling categories such as 9706.90.00.20 (Silverware) and 9706.90.00.40 (Furniture), which are defined by their primary material or function, this "Other" category encompasses items whose classification is not predicated on such specific attributes. Therefore, items like antique maps, vintage textiles, historical scientific instruments, and other decorative or utilitarian objects exceeding 100 years of age, which are not primarily made of silver or are not furniture, would generally fall under this residual classification. The focus remains on the antique nature and the absence of a more fitting, specific subcategory.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification of goods under 9706.90.00.60 relies on a process of elimination. If an item is demonstrably over 100 years old and does not conform to the criteria for silverware or furniture within heading 9706, it is considered for classification under this "Other" designation, provided it meets the general scope of Chapter 97 as a work of art, collector's piece, or antique.
